Sorry, I can't see any Doubling.

Thank you. I was just taking another look at the D And  the bottom looks like a sideways S

Mine looks almost exactly like yours. It's either an artifact of replating or plain old MD.

I believe this quote, by D W Lange, is appropriate in this situation:

" That coin has a form of doubling commonly seen on 1943 cents that resulted from the erosive effects of the plated planchets. A line from the duplicate ... image toward the primary one points directly at the center of the coin, confirming that it is simply a result of die erosion. This is commonly seen on both the date and mintmark, always in the same direction away from the center. "
